AMAZING Future Cities Currently Being Built

Countries around the world are building new

cities

of the

future

to accommodate our growing population. These

cities

have new design concepts and incorporate surprising technological innovations. Join me in today's video as we take a trip around the world to explore 15

amazing

cities of the

future

currently

in development. construction number 15 Legion Forest City in recent years China has begun to pivot towards greener energy alternatives and a striking example of this is lijo far City. The idea behind this is that all of their buildings will be completely covered in plants and trees with all of these buildings having square and rectangular cubicles for people to work and live in, in the hope that these cities can be as carbon neutral as possible. and, although one of these buildings has already been

built

with a capacity for 500 people, the objective is to make an entire city that can house up to 30,000 people, 40,000 trees and more than a million plants of more than one hundred different species number 14 .the agreement with Omnia Lake City Senegal is one of the most important economies in West Africa so far to be able to boost it To move to the next level, the government has begun the construction of the omniadia Lake City, which is

being

built

in an attempt to alleviate congestion in the capital city of Dakar and stimulate new commercial activities.

The project is costing a whopping two billion dollars and should be completed in 2035. The hope is that the city will have several futuristic buildings with some of the highlights, including the Abu Diaf international conference area, the Abu Diaf sports stadium Dakar and an exhibition center. However, since construction started recently and many things are still under construction. Only time will tell whether or not it will become a major urban metropolis number 13. New Santara, While the capital city of Indonesia, Jakarta, is a crowded and lively place, it is also a place that, after all , may not exist in the next hundred years due to over-extraction of groundwater is sinking at an alarming rate, in fact, in the northern part of the city it has sunk eight feet in the last 10 years and research shows that some areas could be completely submerged by the year 2050, as such the Indonesian government has decided to build a completely new capital known as nusantara.

Construction began in July 2022 and the move is expected to cost a whopping $32.4 billion. It is said to be equipped with towering skyscrapers and will hopefully overtake the already bustling capital of Jakarta. although we won't know if this will be the case until its completion date in August 2024, however, given all the resources going into it, I wouldn't be surprised if it is quite beautiful once it is complete at number 12. King's Economic City Abdullah Saudi Arabia's oil money has allowed it to seriously boost its growth, but one megaproject that is still trapping it in the sand is the King Abdullah Economic City, which was first announced in 2005.

The idea was to make the city a of the most important in the world. competitive investment destinations by having it full of economic infrastructure such as ports, railways and industrial factories covering an area approximately the size of Washington DC and having a plant capacity of 2 million people, the city was supposed to be a jewel of the Middle East, However, the reality has been far from that, there is still a work in progress, only about 40 percent of the project has been completed and to date there are only about ten thousand residents as such, while the city is full of Super modern looking villas, they are almost empty and it's just time. will tell whether the city will ever grow to number 11 in King Abdullah's initial projections.

Finland's Bunker City Russia and Finland have always had a somewhat strained relationship, and given the war in Ukraine, the idea of ​​a Russian conflict in Finland seems more likely. However, Finland has likely anticipated a potential conflict for decades and Just a few months ago he revealed to the world that he has a huge underground city that is almost ready for a big showdown located 30 meters underground from the capital city of Helsinki on the 9th. A city of millions of square meters can house a whopping 900 000 people and is strong enough to defend itself from a possible nuclear threat, given that Helsinki has a population of 650 000 inhabitants, its size is quite incredible and if you also consider that Finland has the largest artillery in Europe Have an army With 240,000 soldiers and conscription so that every man can fight, it is clear that Finland is truly prepared for anything and although many of the details surrounding the construction of the Helsinki bunkers are

currently

under wraps, what is Of course it would be important. defensive tool against any type of Russian aggression number 10.

Nur Kent In recent years, China has begun to introduce its Belt and Road initiative around the world with the idea of ​​creating a global trade network spanning more than a hundred countries and make the Hidden Kingdom exceptionally rich at the forefront of this initiative has been the investment of billions of dollars in infrastructure abroad and there are few places that exemplify this spirit of development as much as near Kent, located in the southeast of Kazakhstan, near the border with China. It will have capacity for 100,000 workers serving the nearby port of Corgostri and, as part of its financing structure, a Chinese logistics company owns the land.

The hope is that this city will be a gateway to the rest of Central Asia, making it vital for the China is going through difficult times financially and therefore the viability of the Belton Road initiative as a whole may be in question. danger, so it is unclear whether near Kent will become at all. Said to be Echo Atlantic City's number nine or not, given that Nigeria is one of the largest oil producers in the world, it makes sense that it is one of the richest areas on the planet and it is with its huge amounts of oil money Plans are

being

devised to create an eco-Atlantic city that is being built on land reclaimed from the Atlantic Ocean.

Basically, it is being built on artificial islands off the coast of the capital city of Lagos, totaling 11 million square meters. the size of Manhattan's skyscraper district and will be protected from even the most severe storms with the help of a five-mile-long seawall. The idea is for it to be self-sufficient and sustainable, since it will have buildings with eco-friendly and cutting-edge urban designs and has its own power generation station, clean water, advanced telecommunications, spacious roads and tree-lined streets; However, despite current progress, locals have complained that the construction of the city has caused serious coastal and ocean erosion.

Waves and I only hope that Nigeria is able to actively combat these problems so that the echo of Atlantic City and the surrounding areas are problem free. Number Eight Shanghong China is well known for creating multiple planned cities to facilitate its population growth and move people to urban areas. areas and chongnan is the newest project on this list of developments, it is designed to be larger than New York City, it was first announced in 2017 and is more or less considered as XI Jinping's pet project, most of these planned cities have been located in strong geographic locations.

This is located inland, in what is essentially the middle of nowhere, and many features of the city have direct links to Xi Jinping's political role. It depends entirely on a huge influx of capital and people from Beijing. It is believed that many people and businesses will be transplanted there against their will and although it will supposedly be complete in August 2023, she has dictated that it will be a modern city in 2035 and a world-class urban cluster by 2050. However, while hope is that Jungun serve as a development center hub for Beijing Tianjin's economic angle the recent slowdown in the real estate market in China may hinder continued development and only time will tell whether or not this place will ultimately be successful as the number seven city of all The entry on this list, by far the most controversial, is Acon City, first announced by artist Akon in January 2015.

His idea was to attract six billion dollars to the project to turn it into a Wakanda. real life in his native country, Senegal, in a He imagined a computer representation of the project: an 8.1 square kilometer city with twisted skyscrapers. This city included condominium office parks, a university, an Ocean Resort, and a 5,000-bed hospital. The city was supposed to use blockchain and run on the acon cryptocurrency, making it a futuristic place. Bastion of trade and technology on the west coast of Africa, however, although the foundation stone was laid in 2020 to date, this stone remained alone in an empty field of land and the small sign announcing the mega project even fell down, which raised some major concerns. and while some locals still hold out hope, most experts believe the project displays characteristics of fraudulent business enterprises, such as Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes, and for all intents and purposes, it is more than likely that this future planned city will have little more than a fraudulent collection of money. scam number six the line While most cities are made up of multiple buildings, at the level of character and personality of the area, the line throws these conventions out the window because, as its name suggests, the line is a line made up of two Parallel lines. skyscraper, the entire city will be contained within a structure 200 meters wide, 500 meters high and 170 kilometers long and will extend across an area of ​​land in the northwestern part of Saudi Arabia, near the Red Sea, which will house a total of 9 million people.

The structure will be extremely futuristic and, if current plans are realized, will feature vertically layered homes, offices, public parks and public schools, year-round climate control of all indoor and outdoor spaces, and a high-speed train that will transport to residents from one end to the other. just 20 minutes and all this supposedly means the city will have no car-friendly, carbon-neutral streets built as part of a plan known as Vision 23 that aims to attract 100 million annual visitors. Work on the project began in October 2021 and the city will be complete, as the project's name suggests, in 2030. However, while the structure may be futuristic, it is also seen by many as dystopian and therefore a A significant number of people would prefer not to see this city created, however, there is certainly an argument.

It will be done either way, so I invite you to leave your opinion in the comments below. Let's make some predictions about this rawabi number five. While the West Bank may not be one of the most peaceful places on the planet, it is nonetheless the Site of a massive futuristic city project spearheaded by Palestinian American billionaire Bashar al-Masri. The $1.4 billion luxury city is being built from the ground up to help spur economic growth in the West Bank. Al-Masuri has called it a version of the Marshall Plan. of the post-World War II era, and while he hopes to make money, he also hopes the city will help improve the lot of those who live in the area.

The current plan is for Rawabi to have 6,000 units spread across 22 communities, each of which will arrive. between 70 and 180 thousand dollars, although it is cheaper than many of the apartments in Ramallah, the largest city in Palestine, it is still a very large sum and for the most part only the upper middle class can afford it, although the idea of ​​the project It's quite noble, it's still far away. To date, 1,600 housing units have been built in five of the city's 22 neighborhoods and an additional 4,400 are currently in the works in a sixth, while technically its city itself and its proximity to Jerusalem make it feel much more like a suburb.

Fashion. and due to its location in the West Bank, very few Palestinians without an Israeli passport can actually go there, as a result of which the city has been in effect a landing pad for Israeli Arabs and to date the current Rawabi population is only 5 000 people with 70 are permanent residents and the other 30 percent are weekend or holiday visitors, there are many who see rawabi not as a way to uplift Palestine but as a community dedicated exclusively to wealthy Arabs and, as As a result, there are certainly mixed feelings towards her. Number four, tent city of Mina, every year Muslims from around the world travel to Mecca, known for hosting a mass pilgrimage event known as the Hajj to whichAll Muslims in the world are called to attend at least once in their lifetime and, as a result, up to one million people attend each year to fulfill their sacred obligations.

Historically, many attending pilgrims have stayed in the Mina Valley, but in 2022 Saudi Arabia improved housing by creating a huge tent city; In essence, it's a massive hotel plan to make. money for the central government: the cheapest tents sell for $2,700, mid-tier tents sell for $3,400, and the highest-tier tents sell for $3,900. This tent city attempts to make the Hajj a much more pleasant experience, as instead of having everyone cook outdoors and live in relatively cramped conditions, as was common in the past, this tent city allows everyone to have their own clothing. bed and their basic needs met, with everyone having an adequate amount of space and being fed three men a day in terms of comforts.

The tents are air-conditioned, have power outlets and mobile phone chargers and share common areas. Toilets and bathrooms equipped with access to freezers and refrigerators in receptions serving snacks with ice water and iced soft drinks free of charge throughout your stay in case of fire. The new water tanks with a capacity of 200,000 cubic meters of water are ready to be used at any time and, ultimately, the experience is much safer and more hygienic than in the past and since these stores seem to have been popular, I hope See more additions to this new tent city in the coming years.

Egypt's third new administrative capital is one of Africa's largest economic heavyweights and its capital city, Cairo, is where the beating heart of the country is located, home to nine and a half million people, the city is a bustling metropolis and while this makes it a cultural and economic hub and also comes with its fair share of problems after all, the incredible amount of congestion has considerably reduced the quality of life of its people and is supposedly because of this reason that the government is building the new administrative capital that is expected to house embassies, government agencies, parliament, 30 ministries in a grand presidential complex.

A green space that is twice the size of New York's Central Park and will be home to some six and a half million people when completed, it is supposed to be an urban metropolis built to the highest standards, yet the Money Trail seems to signal the fact that the reasons for building the new Administrative Capital are far from altruistic as a portion of the project is owned by the military and this means that it will be able to make massive profits by selling properties and real estate once the initiative is completed, since the current government has little oversight over military spending.

Corruption is likely to be rampant and this is compounded by the fact that many outside observers believe that Egypt cannot actually afford to build this new city; It is expected to cost a whopping $59 billion. It's essentially just a megacity meant to service the rich, but the country's fragile economy in recent years means it probably won't be able to repay the billions in loans it took to build it, as such there are real concerns about whether it will be possible to finish. this project making this new unsafe city the number two floating city in the Maldives, unless you are a geography buff, chances are you have never heard of the Maldives.

It is located in the middle of the Indian Ocean. This small group of islands usually doesn't have everything. so much press, but in recent months it has received quite a bit of attention due to its planned floating city, aptly named Maldives Floating City, its built-in partnership between the Maldives government and the developers of the Dutch docks and, by all accounts, the city It is very unique and very necessary, as you see, the idea is to create 5,000 floating houses anchored to the bottom of a 200-hectare lagoon, interconnected with each other through a series of channels to protect these houses from ocean waves and improve the ecosystem. of the area. is to place artificial coral banks at the bottom of the city to encourage coral growth and to make it as eco-friendly as possible, there will be a 15-minute ferry service between the city and the capital and main airport to that residents can easily get to and from their homes and travel around the city exclusively via foot boats, bicycles or electric scooters.

On the one hand, this project is quite exclusive and it is believed that these houses will cost between 150,000 and 200,000, making them quite expensive. Local standards, however, are also very necessary since most of these islands that make up the Maldives are less than one meter from sea level. This is a problem as it is believed that the majority of the Maldives will be completely underwater by the year 2100 and as a result this a large-scale pilot program may need to be implemented to save the Maldives from total destruction; However, this particular city is currently in its initial phases of construction and will likely be completed by the year 2027.

The floating city is number one, while the UN is an organization that is often accused of not doing absolutely nothing. They are backing what will soon be a super-high-tech floating city to be located off the coast of Busan, South Korea. The city plans have been completely drawn up and construction is ready to begin. in the coming months and it looks like the project will be quite incredible, it will house a total of 12,000 people, it is being built as part of the United Nations human settlements program and the aim of the initiative is to test a new model of real estate development Led by a sustainable design startup known as oceanics, the city is being designed to withstand 100-year storms and has a foundation that rises as sea level does, allowing it to last essentially forever, whether whether or not sea levels rise to incredibly high levels.

It will consist of three different platforms: the first will be designed to house housing, the second for public spaces such as schools and theaters and the third for research and development, each platform will be connected to the others and will land via bridges while anchored to the bottom of the ocean. with removable pile ties to make these ties as strong as possible, they will be covered with a floating limestone material known as bile rock and to decrease the load on the platforms, all buildings will have a five-story top and will be made of light and sustainable materials, such as wood and bamboo, in order to get around, residents will abandon cars and trains and move by bicycle or on foot and, to be as self-sufficient as possible, the city will have gardens, solar panels, fresh water filters . and fishing cages to catch scallops or algae both the UN and the oceans hope that this model can be applied to other low-lying areas to protect against sea level rise given its budget of 627 million dollars it seems that they have high hopes for However , the project, even in the best-case scenario, will not be fully completed before 2025, meaning it will be a while before this futuristic model is realized.
